title: Lanthanide oxide clusters: from tetrahedral [Dy4(μ4-O)](10+) to supertetrahedral [Ln20(μ4-O)11]38+ (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er).
abstract: Supertetrahedral clusters: A family of lanthanide oxide supertetrahedral T3{Ln20} clusters (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er; see figure) were obtained from the solvothermal reaction of lanthanide(III) salts with polytriazolate ligands that could be methylated and oxidized in situ.
